Vanessa's Colored Woods mod

This mod provides a multitude of colors of wood, sticks, and fences to Minetest, as per the palette outlined by my Unified Dyes mod. By itself, it defines just two nodes (colorized wood block and fence), to which the Unified Dyes 256-color palette is applied.

If you have Moreblocks/Stairsplus installed, this mod will automatically add itself to the circular saw, using the 89-color "split" palette, and bringing its defined nodes count to 626 (12 hues + 1 greyscale, times 48 shapes, plus the above wood and fence nodes), but in so doing, it makes over 55'000 color-shape combinations available! If you feel the need to disable that feature, add coloredwood_enable_stairsplus = false to your minetest.conf.

To colorize wood or fences, simply place a standard block of wood or a standard wooden fence on the ground as usual, then use the airbrush on it, or craft wood or fence + dye and place the result. The same is true for the shapes you get from cutting default:wood with Moreblocks' circular saw.

Note that this mod only uses default:wood and default:fence_wood. It does not use the other types of wood in minetest_game, and does not yet support default wooden stairs and slabs.

Colorized wooden blocks and stairsplus objects are named for their base hue. All objects should be flammable and usable as fuel unless I missed something.

Resources are abundant; only money is scarce. People should not have to work hard and remain poor just to pay for the needs of survival.Society can thrive without money - but only if productive members of society are rewarded for being productive.

The problem is in Minetest itself - you've hit a bug in the game which limits the number of defined nodes/items to less than what the game is supposed to support. This bug, as well as the actual limit on the number of nodes/items, have both been fixed in 0.4.2-rc1.

For wood, I'd almost prefer an overkill of the various colors of brown, which are under-represented even in this rather amazing setup. I like all your mods. You work on the kind of things that intrigue me about this sort of game in general - the crafting.

In order to change yourself, you must believe the change is possible and that there are rewards for making the change.- Inspired by Hebrews 11:6

Added optional Moreblocks/Stairsplus support. Because of the number of colors and shapes supported by this mod and by Stairsplus, respectively, this change adds a whopping 2581 nodes, but no new textures etc, so it should only result in a slightly longer startup time. Defaults to enabled if Moreblocks is installed; to disable this feature, add coloredwood_enable_stairsplus = false to minetest.conf.

Another update: new textures using the "4-tile" style of current minetest_game. A bit less dramatic on the "light" series, and also I fixed the overly-dark black fence inventory texture. The grey/black/white wood textures were hand-tweaked to give a better set of shades than what came out of the colorizer script.
